Is Work-from-Home a scam?

Have you looked into Chacha.com? I have been working there for close to (4) months. It is a virtual office with no phonework. No schedule to adhere to and no minimum or maximim amount of hours needed to work and best of all NO fees to start. Also, if you go to wahm.com you will find a lot of other legit companies that hire for what you are looking for.

Oh my cynd, you have to be even more confused than when you started this discussion. I can tell you, because of what you want to do, most of the Freelance sites you will get come with a price tag. Even when you pay, it is normally just a list of different companies that will offer you work, not actual work itself. I joined one that was $47 to join, but got the list, did a little research and found out that it's like that for most. I did come across a site last year that I write articles for and it's completely free to join. You can try it out if you like. The money will start out small anywhere from $3-$4, but will progress. I make about $8 per article now so it's working if you can do a certain amount per day. Here's the link http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=29576 As for some advice, unfortunately trial and error is the best medicine. I mean you don't know me from Adam so whose to say you trust what I say, or someone that slaps you with a link and says this is the best money maker I use. Just do research before you signup for everything. That's the best advice anyone can give. Also, don't limit yourself to just one place. Yes, some charge startup fees, but that doesn't mean it's a scam. It simply means you are starting your own business, and if you were to do that in the real world (start a business) it surely wouldn't be free. Just stay within your budget. I also work for a site that has people that promote businesses, people in search of businesses, people who want to buy things, importers, exporters, even people WHO FUND STARTUP COMPANIES. This is free as well, and I work for the company the link to that is http://bizpreneur.com/signup.php?refer=Kiwidipa Anyways, even if you learned an ounce of what I've shared it's been worth it, and I'm sure I'll chat with you again soon. CHEERS, Michael

not all. but most of them are. unless they are recommended from your real friends, i suggest for you not to invest money and just stick with your current paying programs.

Hello cyndhirella,I know exactly what you're talking about..I am a military wife with 3 kids living in Germany...no jobs there now...I worked for the federal government and on leave. I've wanted to work for home for 4 reasons: My kids and my husband. I currently work from home after like you, going on the internet for countless hours. I never thought I would find anything because, yes, there are a BUNCH of scams. I know because I was conned out of hundreds a few years ago, and put my family in debt. But I did find one legit business. I'm with The MOM Team (Mothers on a Mission), for almost a month, and I absolutely love what they represent. I would like to ask that you just visit my website and read the information offered. If you still have questions and want more detailed information, please fill out the online form, and I can call you at your convenience. This company is changing my family's life and I get to help others, and I wish I would have done it 5 years ago when I was approached by them. No sales, inventory, MLM schemes, or home parties, or risk. Good luck. http://www.MomsDreamAReality.com

I did the work-from-home website & I did pay the money. I checked it out with the Better Business Bureau and basically it was an okay company-- but there were complaints.. so, I emailed the company and they said to join for myself and I could get a refund within the 30 days.. So, I joined & I DID NOT make money-- & I did work my butt off... so-- I emailed and got my money back.. that simple!! Basically I didn't want to pay the money to get my adds out there that I was posting because I didn't know if it would work.. but, I don't think it's a scam if you get your money back. But, I know I will never do that again.

i too have gone thru many work at home jobs. most of them need money to start, which makes them unsuitable for starting. atlast i have found 1 group which gives work at home jobs n also pay in time. they do payment in 24 hrs. thru egold or paypal. if u want to know abt it pm me.

sometimes, i hate it when i get to open sites thinking that i can get an online job for some companies. however, i get upset about them asking for joining fees. i mean, i am applying for a job not a club to have fun onto. so, why ask for joining fees, right? most of them are just scams. i had been here in mylot for months now. and it's great here.

Yes I hate them. I have joined many free ones but they never pay. I have finally found a few things that do pay, but one is for US members only. You can join duno free and make a few dollars. It is like mylot but a little different. check it out. http://www.duno.com/s/?rid=1731

Try visiting www.WorkatHomeCareers.com, They are a legit job search site, I also frequent www.Wahm.com in their telecommuting folder, Lots of job leads get posted there everyday. But as others were saying, You should NEVER have to pay for a JOB!
